It's a very all-consuming hobby-- researching mods, trying to get a stable "load order" and smooth running installation, checking out new features to determine what suits your tastes, and finally, late into the evening, PLAYING the game and reaping the rewards of hand-building a custom experience.

The icing on the cake is when my kids come over for the weekend I can say, "check out what I've done to Skyrim now," and they're interested in playing an 11yo game again.
 

I've got a schedule worked out where I can mod / play Skyrim for 7.5 hours per day.

Getting ready for work - 8:30 AMstart time
Driving and going to desk - 9:30 AMstart time
Working 10a to 5:30p - 10:00 AMstart time
Going to car and driving - 5:30 PMstart time
Eating or napping - 06:00 PMstart time
Playing or modding Skyrim - 7:00 PMstart time
Sleeping - 2:30 AMstart time
